Pride and prejudice - Jane Austin


To begin i think i shall start my review blog with a book called...




Rate - 9/10

Age Rate - 12 and over


One of the most well written novella romanticas i have ever read. I absolutely adored it. Although slightly hard to get into at first, once you have a grip on the language and the characters you begin to relate with them and feel for them. Austin's great use of a quick-witted young woman in this time, Elizabeth Bennet encourages the reader to relate and understand and automatically like especially when read by the 20th century generation.




The relation developed between Mr Darcy and Elizabeth is gripping and romantic and totally absurd. Setting the standard for men today way up high. But we love it anyway and dream of coming across a man like this to sweep us off our feet and wash away the snide comments from disaprovers.




In my opinion this is a book that you must read at least once in your life-time. Its great for picking up before you go to bed or whipping out on a long journey on the train, that way too you look smart and sophisticated !!





Tell me what you think, and if i have or haven't persuaded you ! (:


Casper sends her love to all her literature lovers out there !
